Ingredients

  • Great news! You likely have all the ingredients you'll need to make these soft ginger cookies. If not, here's what to add to your grocery list:

  • Sugar: You'll need about a cup of sugar for the cookie dough, plus about two tablespoons of sugar for rolling the dough balls.

  • Flour: All-purpose flour gives the cookies structure and helps create a tender texture.
  • Spices: These soft gingerbread cookies are spiced with ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • Baking soda: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it makes the dough rise.
  • Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Butter: Butter is great for making perfectly soft ginger cookies with slightly crisp edges. If you'd like, you can substitute margarine.
  • Egg: An egg adds moisture and acts as a binding agent (it holds the dough together).
  • Molasses: Molasses lends warm, cozy, and sweet flavor to these soft gingerbread cookies.
